I child

: "i child"

waiting for the day to die;
waiting for the night's reply...
holding on to distant thoughts
of innocence - the distance, each day, expands -

holding out for daddy's love, holding out for the clouds above...
waiting for the rainy days; no one to play, no one to say:
"i love you - i'm never going to leave, til i've found you
in my heart..."

collapse, they say, and you'll never feel afraid. (well i'm)
scared because i lost you in the middle of my game - the same way
of
crying never ends. &; the pain...
(all in) all, i never found you.

slipping through the mirror frame i thought might do some good.
but all i have are empty memories
of
childhood.
